John is a professional drummer/percussionist, producer and sound designer. He is a driving force in the electronic drumming field on the use of VST instruments. A key product specialist for software developer FXpansion, John has recorded studio drums for FXpansion\'s acclaimed BFD drum software series. He is internationally known for his work with the Zendrum as well as articles featured in Modern Drummer magazine.

This unique masterclass will cover the use of BFD2 as a live and studio tool for drummers and producers alike. It will cover the key features and John will show students how to set up for e-drumming live and for e-drumming in the studio, using BFD2 as a plug-in.

Also featured, alongside John on drums, will be the Institute’s Dave Marks on bass and Johan Englund, our own technology and studio guru, in charge of the recording process. It is a great opportunity for anyone interested in the percussive arts to see how drummers can work with technology to expand their creative horizons – so contact the Institute now if you wish to attend!
